looking at our schedule our tough game left after is the Celtics and that's at home so I think we could pull this off and make the playoffs.

Agree or disagree?

It's possible. We are still the same team that has consistently lost games in Q4 so time will tell if this squad has turned the corner.

yeah it all depends on how the team plays really and I did forget the thunder game that's in OKC we have left that's be tough as well but it still a winnable game.

I don't follow your logic. This is the same team that just got destroyed by Indiana, lost to Chicago and New Orleans all within the last 2 weeks. Every team we play except for Phoenix(who we recently lost to) is better than those 3 teams.

I'm about as optimistic as they come and even I can admit the Hornets have no chance of winning out. At best, they'll go 8-3 with losses at OKC, at WAS, and at TOR. That means they'd have to win every home game(cle, pho, mil, den, mia, bos) and the two to end the season on the road against Mil and Atl.

Just looked again and the team also has 3 back to backs(vs MIL, @ TOR: @WAS, vs MIA: @MIL, @ATL) in these last 11 games. It's going to be tough to just finish above .500 unless all the Hornets players just suddenly turn into all stars.

I know its a lot of games we have blown this year but I'm saying it still possible we could win out seeing our schedule its not that hard and we are on a 3 game winning streak now and we usually close the season great so their a reason to have a little hope we could do it

Still a long shot, but they haven't let the door slam shut just yet. I think the next five games will put a stake in us, a lot of games against playoff teams, but if we come out of that stretch 4-1 or better the playoffs are very much in play.
